Atlanta Hawks (34-23 SU, 25-32 ATS, 17-14 SU Road, 25-32 O/U) will the play Golden State Warriors (26-30 SU, 29-26-1 ATS, 19-12 SU Home, 26-30 O/U). The Hawks traded G Mike Bibby for a new PG in Kirk Hinrich. Bibby had lost a step and he was often invisible on most night for a PG that is supposed to run your offense. Hinrich is an upgrade but it will take time for him to learn the offense and build some chemistry with his teammates. Hawks have lost 4 of 5 by getting out rebounded and some poor defense. GS Warriors are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games and play solid at home when the team is healthy.

GS shipped off Brandon Wright but he had to impact with Warriors. Atlanta is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 Friday games as the guys cannot wait to hit the clubs. Look for another weak effort by the Hawks as their post All-Star slide continues. A lot of the guys on the Hawks have been with Bibby for awhile and I could see them coming out flat tonight.
